Robert Taylor: What other comics are you reading right now?
Walt Simonson: "Usagi Yojimbo" by Stan Sakai-- the comic I always read. Love it. Stan quietly does beautiful work, art and story, month after month, year in, year out. Go Stan!
And right now, "Samurai Executioner" by Koike and Kojima, the two guys who did "Lone Wolf and Cub." More stories of feudal Japan in a culture at once comprehensible and mysterious. (I say "right now" not because I expect to drop the series any time soon, but because it's a limited number of stories and, eventually, the series will end).
And I keep hoping that Evanier and Aragonés will go back and do more Groo.
I met first met Walt when I was still with Fantagraphics, and he has always been a great supporter. I'm also a big fan of his work--what's not to like from a guy that has a dinosaur-shaped signature?
